GARRICK—“The Monster.” If Crane Wilbur sought to give the public something truly horrifying when he wrote “The Monster.” let it |be settled once and for all that he succeeded far beyond the wildest Ropes of even the most fanciful mind. The Monster,” which opened at the Garrick last night for a would literally freeze the stanchest of hearts and is undoubt- edly the most amazing melodrama d in Washington. ix characters only appear on the and each is portrayed excep- 1y well. Suzanne Caubet and Howard Lang give exhibitions of ex- cellent artistic ability. Crane Wilbur, the author, takes the part of the hero, of course, but his role calls for far less dramatic ability than that of Mr. Lanz. Walter James, Frank McCor- mack and Michel Martin complete the cast. If for nothing else, the audience {is indebted to Mr. McCormack for having furnished excuses for laugh- ter on numerous occasions when nerves seemed about to _snap. i “The Monster” s one Dr. Ziska, im- onated by Mr. Lang, an insane rgeon, who is possessed of the hal- { ucination that he can contribute much to the progress of civilization if he can but find human subjects for civisection. He conceives the fear{ul} {idea of causing automobiles to crash through a bridge near his dismal home and then stealing the victims before help can arrive. | One of these is Mile. Caubet, as Julie Cartier. Crane Wilbur, as Alvin Bruce, a reporter sent out to discover the mys- terious disappearance of other motorists in the vicinity of Dr. Ziska’s home, sees the accident, however; drags Miss Car- tier from beneath her machine and un- wittingly carries her into the very house for which she was originally destined by the doctor. From that moment every ency known to the human mind, from awful aspirations to weird mechanical effects, is brought into play to keep the nerves of the audience at’the breaking point. - The dramatic effects produced are re- markable. Everything is complete, from the actual wrecking of Miss Cartler's r to the opening and closing of doors thout the assistance of visible human means. The play teaches no moral |and_ofters nothing to compensate the audience for the, tricks it plays. with their nerves. It’is simply one terrify- ing spectacle after ancther and closes with an electrocution in a replica of the death chair at Sing Sing. Those who are looking for a thrlll, those who want to have their nerves kept on edge for several hours, will find plenty of what they are looking for at the Shubert-Garrick this week. B. F. KEITH'S—Ben Bernie and = Orchestra. : A thoroughly original and whique {top liner at Keith's this week is Ben {Bernie and his_orchestra, who are {carrying off the honors of & very good bill. Heretofore Bernie has appeared monologist and a violinist, rank s one of the cleverest entertain- -rs_in vaudeville. Coming back last night, he remarked as an introduction {that he was taking no chances and Liad brought an orchestra with him. There are ter.amembers of the orches- tra, all artis @ in thelr line, and they registered a hit, many of thelr numbers having original arrange- ments that added zest to melodies. Bornie between humbers apologized for his orchestra and presented a line of talk that carried a laugh In every sentence. He also played & violin solo artistically, for which he was heartily applauded. . An original arrangement of “Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Sheehan,” as played by a Hebrew orchestra, was a scream, and as an encore “Tomor- | received was that of Howard Ander-| son and Rean Graves, entitled “Living | On Air.” The pair are supposed to be | up in an aeroplane, having a bath-| room at one end and a bedroom at the other, with the engine and living room in the center. Engine trouble creates a funny line of tallo and helps to a most -enjoyable half hour. Other good turns include Craig Campbell, the tenor, in popular and operatic & D. Appolon and com- pany in a fine musical and dancing act; Bob Hall, the well known extem- poraneous chap; Frank Dixon and company in a good sketch, entitled “Lonesome Manor”; the Kitaro- Japs, in a foot juggling act; Miller and Cap- man, eccentric dancers, and the house attractions, embracing _Pithy.
